ORDINANCE NO. 17-03
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
LINO LAKES BY REZONING CERTAIN REAL ESTATE FROM R, RURAL TO
URBAN RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) FOR THE
RAVENS HOLLOW DEVELOPMENT
The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota does ordain:
Section 1: Findings
The City Council makes the following findings regarding the application for rezoning the
property described below, based on the factors listed in Section 2, Subd.1E of the Lino
Lakes zoning ordinance:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City
Comprehensive Plan. The project complies with the land use in the comprehensive
plan: the site is guided for Medium Density and Low Density Sewered Residential
use. The PUD accommodates both those land use categories and their respective
densities. Final platting will not occur until 2004 due to MUSA availability. The
project will be consistent with both the MUSA and units/per year limitations of the
growth management policy.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the
area. The site is guided for low and medium density residential uses. Existing and
anticipated future land uses in the area are considered compatible with the proposed
uses. The Ravens Hollow lots on the north are compatible with the Fox Trace
development to the north. Future development to the south will be medium and low
density, like the Ravens Hollow project.
3. Upon compliance with the conditions of approval set forth in Resolution 03-134, the
proposed use will conforms with all performance standards contained in the zoning
ordinance and other requirements. The standard lots are similar to the R-1 standards
in the zoning ordinance. The PUD allows flexibility, and the project addresses things
that a PUD is supposed to encourage, as listed in the zoning ordinance.
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity. Sanitary sewer service is available via Linda
Lane on the north side of the site. Water is available both in Linda Lane and Ware
Road. This allows for a loop in the water service, a desirable situation. The systems
have adequate capacity. The utilities will be constructed to serve land to the south.
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property. The site is between a collector and an arterial roadway. The proposed
access to Ware is spaced as far away from 62nd St. as possible without seriously
impacting existing wetlands. Additional access would be from the existing Linda
Lane on the north. Ware Road will not be overburdened. In the future, the site would
access land to the south when that land develops—this will provide for a future access
to Hodgson at Rohavic Lane.
